As long as Aunt Lin is willing to help, you can certainly marry a man a hundred tis better than him. Besides, if Liu Zhenqiang was just ugly, that would be one thing, but his lifestyle is quite questionable.
Your mom heard people say that he once dated a countryside girl who was pregnant, then sohow moved away and disappeared. Now he’s found another countryside girl, and even got her a job in the county.
If you marry such a man, wouldn’t you be miserable for a lifeti? As far as I’m concerned, it would be better to marry an ordinary worker, at least they wouldn’t make mistakes in lifestyle."
Kim Lan retorted: "Mom, do you really believe these rumors? If he were truly like what people say, how could he still firmly hold the position of deputy county chief?"
"Have you started contacting him?" Guo Caiping frowned, "Lanlan, when it cos to judging n, your mom is definitely more accurate than you. Listen to your mom, he’s really not right for you."
"I’ll think about it." Kim Lan sighed, "Mom, if there’s any hope, I wouldn’t want to marry him either. But after calculating everyone around , he’s the most promising one.
Besides, mom, you also said that good looks can’t put food on the table, and no one looks good when they’re old anyway, so what’s the point in minding that he’s ugly?
And mom, he’s different from before now. If you agree, I’ll have him take us out for dinner tonight, and then you and dad can observe him to see if he’s still the sa as in your impression."
"Lanlan..." Guo Caiping looked at her daughter with a shocked expression, "Don’t scare mom, since when have you two progressed this far? Have you... have you had any inappropriate actions? Lanlan, you can’t be confused about this, and you can’t hide it from mom. Quickly tell mom the truth!"
Kim Lan’s face flushed red: "Mom, what are you thinking? We’ve just t a few tis because of work. He said he would always wait for . Today I t Aunt Lin and felt a bit dejected, so I thought I wouldn’t drag it any longer, to avoid ending up with nothing in the end."
Guo Caiping let out a long breath: "That’s good, that’s good. Mom just fears you don’t know better at this young age and make a big mistake. Child, n care about this matter, until the wedding day, you mustn’t entrust yourself to any man. Otherwise, you’ll definitely regret it later."
"Mom, you’ve told this countless tis, I won’t forget." Glancing at the ti, Kim Lan began to pack her lunchbox, "I have plans with friends to go to the park this afternoon, I’m leaving."
"Who did you plan with?" Guo Caiping asked worriedly.
"Mom, I’m twenty-seven, not seventeen."
"Alright, alright, I won’t ask, just wear so more clothes and don’t catch a cold."
After sending her daughter off, Guo Caiping sat there in a daze for a while, instinctively feeling her daughter’s date was Liu Zhenqiang.
...
As Guo Caiping expected, Kim Lan indeed had plans with Liu Zhenqiang, except it was Liu Zhenqiang who extended the invitation, and Kim Lan who accepted it.
Kim Lan and Liu Zhenqiang were elentary school classmates, but Liu Zhenqiang’s family moved, and they didn’t see each other until middle school.
Then they beca desk mates in middle school.
Liu Zhenqiang started school late, though they were in the sa class, he was two years older, so unlike the other mischievous boys in the class, he took good care of Kim Lan.
For instance, when Kim Lan got sick, he would certainly help her with notes and occasionally even slip her an egg. Kim Lan knew his family conditions weren’t great, and that egg was perhaps a reward for his birthday or good exam results, which deeply moved Kim Lan.
But being moved doesn’t an liking him. Plus, Liu Zhenqiang dropped out during high school, and their contact gradually ceased.
Until Kim Lan started working, they t again, except he was just a small soldier under the director of the Revolution Committee, and he was very friendly, but she was indifferent.
Just maintaining sporadic contact like that, he seed to realize her disinterest and never advanced in that direction. Their occasional etings were just idle chats between old classmates.
Until Liu Zhenqiang beca deputy county chief, his attitude towards Kim Lan beca more enthusiastic, as if all of a sudden he gained confidence, completely transforming from before.
In addition, Kim Lan kept failing to find the right person, so she took a passive approach towards this relationship, or rather, she treated him as a relatively secure backup.
Indeed, he’s short, quite ugly, his family spared no effort to find him a wife, but when others heard his family only had a mother, no father, and a sister, they all kept their distance.
Later, the matter of him marrying a countryside girl, she knew it too, and he especially explained to her. At the ti, he sincerely wanted to marry that countryside girl and went to her hotown.
However, the girl’s parents were too greedy, and the girl was just after his material possessions, which deeply hurt him. He felt he would rather be single than marry such a girl and ended the relationship.
She didn’t dare admit it to her mom, fearing opposition, as it was undoubtedly an unseemly past.
Lost in thought, she arrived at the park they agreed upon, and there he stood at the main entrance of the park, his blue khaki Zhongshan suit adding a touch of elegance to him.
Actually, he’s not really that bad-looking... Kim Lan couldn’t help but comfort herself.
"Lanlan..." Liu Zhenqiang quickly ca over, naturally grasping her hand tightly, "You should wear more, see how cold your hands are."
His caring words made Kim Lan, who was initially annoyed by his actions, suddenly feel much more comfortable inside. (To be continued.
